Whisper vsGoogle Voice Typing
Google Voice Typing is free, but you pay with your data. Everything you say is sent to Google's servers. Whisper keeps your voice completely private.
The Hidden Cost of "Free"
When you use Google Voice Typing, every word you speak is sent to Google's servers, processed, stored, and potentially used to train AI models or target ads. Your private conversations, sensitive notes, and confidential work all become Google's data.
Whisper processes everything locally on your device. Your voice never leaves your Mac. Zero cloud. Zero tracking. Zero data collection.
Why Privacy Matters for Voice Data
Voice is Personal
Your voice contains more than words—it reveals emotions, health markers, accent, and identity. It's uniquely you.
Stored Forever
Cloud providers keep voice data indefinitely. What you say today could be accessed, breached, or used against you years from now.
Local = Secure
With Whisper, your voice is processed on your Mac and immediately discarded. Nothing is stored, nothing is sent. Complete security.
